About Me

I'm on a spontaneous roadtrip, living my dream - driving, meeting people and doing some work on the move. I will be on the road to mid of July. I call it my Eurotrip :)

I'm hard working, good looking, ambitious and wise. And I have a sense of humor too :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a friend, who told me a lot about his experience hosting people and it sounds fun. I registered on Courchsurding a few years ago, but never had a chance to host or visit people.

I went on this roadtrip totally spontaneous and didn't even plan a route , just a general direction. So early in the trip I realized I need some connecting points, where to go next and I decided to give Courchsurfing a try.

I believe that life sends us the right people and experiences at the right time. I can go in different directions, but somehow I always end up being where I truly want to be and meeting people I'm glad I met.

Interests

As a child a read a lot of books, everything from fairy tails to detective fiction.

When I was 12, I decided that I'm gonna be an entrepreneur one day, so I started to read business section of all newspapers I got my hands on. Now professional literature on different business topics is generally my daily read.

I'm addicted to physical activity, so I play basketball, football, table tennis; I love riding bicycles and I can always go for a 10km run.

Music, Movies, and Books

Actually I'm making a new list of favorite songs that shape this road trip and I update it as I hear a new song that hits me. Want to hear it or add a song? :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only one thing is hard to pick. Last summer I climbed the scaffoldings of Riga Cathedral and took a selfie on the golden rooster. See the picture in my gallery. It's a few meters above the rooftop of the largest medieval church in Latvia and the whole Baltic States.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can explain things once, it's harder to do it twice, so probably I'm not the best teacher if one is not the best learner. Myself, I'm a fast learner. I believe in sharing and I'm glad to see sharing evolving so rapidly these days. Ownership is oldschool :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can talk about anything and I will have a sound opinion or knowledge in many major topics. My favorite topics are politics, economics, environment. I'm truly interested in all the subjects that would make our world a better place. And I can share a lot about business if you are interested, but we can always switch to cat videos on youtube :)
